From Thomas..

My dad, Thomas Ervin Williams, (now deceased) was a fireman on the Santa Fe in 1944.

He enlisted and served in Europe in WWII as a railroader.

I have a picture, I think taken in basic, of him with the 752nd RY OPN BN, it's attached. He's third from left in 2cd row.

Joy writes ...This the 746 Railway Battalion in Germany and Austria. Don't know what year. Louie Edmistion is our relative from Xenia Illinois or could be Wheatland Indiana, where his wife and children were while he was away.
